TARIFF TALK.
Fairchild, Carlisle, Randall and Scott
at Washington.

at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Secretary Fair
child arrived in Washington early this
morning. He went to Oak View during the
day and spent several hours in conference
with the President and Speaker Carlisle in
regard to the plan to be submitted to Con
gress for reduction of the surplus. The
arrival in this city of Congressman Ran
dali and Scott, of Pennsylvania, to-day
has given fresh impulse to the talk of ex-
pected agreements among the Democratic
leaders on some method of tariff reform.
Mr.. Scott is now at Oak View, the Presi-
dents summer cottage. Mr.. Randall said
to-day that he did not come to Washington
to talk about the tariff, but of course he
could not tell what might occur before he
left the city.
The NEWS correspondent learns that the
tariff bill which the President and his ad-
visers will favor will 50 nearly resemble the
Morrison bill of last year, with the addition
of the repeal of the tobacco taxes, that the
talk of an agreement with Mr.. Randall in
favor of it seems absurd

AYOOB KHAN's FLIGHT.
Russia Pretends to Take no Interest
In It.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 6.-The following
semi-official statement is made public here:
"The fight of Ayoob does not alter the ratio
existing between Russia and Afghan. The
Russian government had nothing TO do with
Ayoob's flight, and does not feel called upon
to concern itself with internal complica-
tions IL is not likely that Ayoob's escape
will celi,e fresh difficulties between England
and Russia, 10th OF these governments,
whep settling the Russo-Afghan frontiers,
having adopted solid ethno-
gnphic basis, partly guided by
Touman and Afghan traditions. The
arrangement is a durable one, and was es-
tablished in such manner that there re
mains no trace of dissatisfaction nor pre-
text for ulterior claims on either side. No
casual incident like the flight Of Ayoob can
revive the difference, which the two powers
desired TO settle once for all.

Still Flying About.
NEW York, Sept. 6.-There were nnm
berIess rumors on Wall street to-day in re-
gard to the Presidency of the Baltimore and
Ohio road, it being generally conceded that
at the next election, which takes place in
November, Robert Garrett will be succeeded
by Vice President Spencer or A. j. Cassatt.
John Newell, of the Lake Shore road, was
also mentioned as being can
didate for the Presidency, but this
is denied by the Vanderbilt people. A
point upon which more interest attaches,
however, is whether the deal will be fol
lowed by the sale of the telegraph to the
Western Union. J. Pierrepont Morgan to-
day refused to deny the rumors that the
statements in regard to another deal, proba-
bly, including a settlement of the telegraph
war, would be made in few days. He said
however, that there were no developments
to record to-day.

Transplanting Trees.

At whatever age or season trees are
transplanted, success depends largely
upon The manner in which the opera
ton of raising the roots of the trees
is performed. Some people think that
if they get good ball of soil with the
root it is enough; but it all depends
where the roots are. Trees that pro-
duce bunch of roots will move with
u small ball, because all the roots are
next to the stem; but in the great ma
jority of trees the roots spread out to
a considerable distanbe, and mostly all
the tibrous or feeding roots are mt the
eXtremities. and hence these must be
preserved. The object of having soil
to the roots is simply to preserve the
small rootlets, and, if these could be
had without the soil, it would answer
almost as we'll; only many roots are
necessarily lost in digging the soil
away in the transplanting. On large
estates, where nursery is provided,
many trees of II few special kinds may
be kept for filling up blanks; and if
they are one or two years previously
root-pruned on dug around, they will
lift without much check or injury

Hired and Cultivated Persons.
A refined courtesy of manner is one
of the works of a highly-bred and cul-

kindly heart and considerable feelings,
but it is also something more than this.
1t is the ease of conscious dignity-an
expression of an intellect sure of its
own position, and standing without
need of self-asscrtion or eonceit.
1t has in it the element of endurance,
for none but those to whom tho minor
troubles of life are trihes indeed can be
courteous under the mosquitoes bites
of physical and mental annoyances,
without outwardly being ruflled and
disturbed. 1t implies the most per-

HISTORY OF FLORIDA.

A Health Resort Discovered Many Years
Ago by MIR. Ponce de Leon.
Florida has been health resort ever
since it was discovered by Ponce de
Leon in 1912. In fact that celebrated
discoverer went there for health him
self. He was afflicted with disorder
(almost always fataD called old age,
which is liable to attack a man who has
been careless during his youth, some
where between the ages of fifty and
one hundred. There is no absolute
remedy for it even when treated in its
earliest stages. Most men neglect it
until it becomes firmly seated, and then
it is too late. 1t may be mitigated by
soothing treatment. but there is no
case recorded in medical works where
it has ever been thoroughly eradicated
Ponce had led fast life, and when
he found age creeping on with its at
tendant intirmities he looked about for
means of recuperation. There had
been a mystic legend floating around
Europe concerning fountain of youth
somewhere in the New World, wherein
it was only necessary for an old man
to bathe to be made as good as new.

was in the world his bald head coy
cred with luxurious wig and his
mouth pre-empted by a double set of
false teeth of rubber, made while YOU
wait. Ponce set sail at once and landed
in Florida April 3, 1912, only twenty
years after the discovery of America.
As soon as he arrived he was be-
sieged by the natives to buy an orange
grove. They said oranges could be
raised there with or without derrick.
yielding an enormous profit. Failing
in that he could keep winter boarders
from the North. But he turned Il deaf
ear to their propositions and struck out
boldly in search of the tabled fountain.
1t must have been a melancholy
| thing to see that infatuated old man
wandering among savage everglades,
now stumbling over knobs and again
on Seminoles, in his fruitless quest. He
heard of Il fountain one day, but aftel
weeks of painful travel he found it wa.
only a disabled soda fountain left be-
hind by a picnic party. Finally, de
spairing of becoming young again b,
